As to SD loads, have you tried any Guard Dog ammo in .45acp? It is vastly different in every way from any other, even if it is 165 gr moving at 1,140fps and will feed just as a JHP.

I haven't gotten around to those yet ... I have yet to see them on a store shelf.
My statement is based upon observed tendencies of RN designs. They simply excell at bouncing around, which lends to it being part of a solution to guns with problematic feeding. Unfortunately they continue to display this trait down range in the form of deflection.
Flat points tend to reduce this issue. while a truncated cone flat point seems a sweet blend between reliability and penetration
